Does anyone have a Kallaloo recipe?I

[Xislandgirl]

I thought I had a good one bookmarked but I can't seem to find it now and my mom wants to make it.

Thanks!

Don't know if this is the same thing but try doing a search on "callaloo".

[Xislandgirl]

I did try both ways and they are all so different, I am hoping someone has a tied and true recipe.

Thanks

What is it?

I think it's sort of like spinach or collard greens.

It costs $10.00/can here in the Caribbean market.

... have never eaten Kallaloo
but curiosity about this thread resulted in these Google finds - good or bad recipes, I'm guessing that Kallaloo is a soup or stew of Caribbean heritage.
